If you have never been on a camel before this is a great opportunity when you are in the area. The camels are quite tame and quiet, so safe for children. A professional photographer followed us taking many shots of the ride which are put on a CD. This CD could be purchased for a very reasonable $40. Imagine a picture of you are seated on a camel with Ayers Rock in the back ground. Fantastic. I recommend this short excursion to everyone, and while you are there say Hi to Sam our friendly Cameleer.

We had a late afternoon flight over Ayers Rock and The Olgas. Being that time of the day highlighted the shadows over the rock. A ground tour of these wonderful rock formations is good, but a different perspective is gained from the air. Our pilot gave a great commentary, not only telling us about their European discovery but some of the Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. (these two stories differed somewhat)
He told us about the sand dunes and how they were formed. We also saw ancient coral reefs a reminder that this area was under the sea 500 million years ago. I would highly recommend this flight to everyone.
